We demonstrate two new approaches that have been developed to aid the production of future hard X-ray catalogs, and specifically to reduce the reliance on human intervention during the detection of faint excesses in maps that also contain…
A blind source separation method is described to extract sources from data mixtures where the underlying sources are assumed to be sparse and uncorrelated. The approach used is to detect and analyse segments of time where one source exists…
Several statistics-based detectors, based on unimodal matrix models, for determining the number of sources in a field are designed. A new variance ratio statistic is proposed, and its asymptotic distribution is analyzed. The variance ratio…
We present X-sifter, a software package designed for near-optimal detection of sources in X-ray images and other forms of photon images in the Poisson-noise regime. The code is based on the Poisson-noise-matched filter (Ofek & Zackay),…
This paper considers filters (the Mexican hat wavelet, the matched and the scale-adaptive filters) that optimize the detection/separation of point sources on a background. We make a one-dimensional treatment, we assume that the sources have…
A novel blind estimate of the number of sources from noisy, linear mixtures is proposed. Based on Sz\'ekely et al.'s distance correlation measure, we define the Sources' Dependency Criterion (SDC), from which our estimate arises. Unlike…
Online knowledge repositories typically rely on their users or dedicated editors to evaluate the reliability of their content. These evaluations can be viewed as noisy measurements of both information reliability and information source…
This paper considers the problem of localising a stationary signal source using a team of mobile agents which only take binary measurements. Background false detection rates and missed detection probabilities are incorporated into the…
Combining evidence from different sources can be achieved with Bayesian or Dempster-Shafer methods. The first requires an estimate of the priors and likelihoods while the second only needs an estimate of the posterior probabilities and…
This work presents a method for determining the accuracy of a source finder algorithm for spectral line radio astronomy data and the Source Finder Accuracy Evaluator (SFAE), a program that implements this method. The accuracy of a source…
This article proposes a source-independent method for detecting faults along Transmission Lines (TL) to reduce the protection issues arising from Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs). In the proposed method, high-frequency waves are sent from…
Detecting the origin of information or infection spread in networks is a fundamental challenge with applications in misinformation tracking, epidemiology, and beyond. We study the multi-source detection problem: given snapshot observations…
Recent research has shown a weak convergence - convergence in distribution - of particle filtering methods under certain assumptions. However, some applications of particle filtering methods, such as radiation source localization problems,…
We present a method of reliably extracting the flux of individual sources from sky maps in the presence of noise and a source population in which number counts are a steeply falling function of flux. The method is an extension of a standard…
This paper introduces an amendment to radio interferometric calibration of sources below the noise level. The main idea is to employ the information of the stronger sources' measured signals as a plug-in criterion to solve for the weaker…
Given a set of images, whose pixel values can be considered as the components of a vector, it is interesting to estimate the modulus of such a vector in some localised areas corresponding to a compact signal. For instance, the…
This paper presents and discusses the results of basic source finding tests in three dimensions (using spectroscopic data cubes) with Duchamp, the standard source finder for the Australian SKA Pathfinder. For this purpose, we generated…
Object detection is a very important function of visual perception systems. Since the early days of classical object detection based on HOG to modern deep learning based detectors, object detection has improved in accuracy. Two stage…
Thanks to information explosion, data for the objects of interest can be collected from increasingly more sources. However, for the same object, there usually exist conflicts among the collected multi-source information. To tackle this…
This paper introduces a unified framework for the detection of a source with a sensor array in the context where the noise variance and the channel between the source and the sensors are unknown at the receiver. The Generalized Maximum…
